Hello Steven,

This is quite impressive. I am interested to see how you monitor which of the words students learned to spell correctly?
What do you do if students did not do well on their spelling tests?

This is a fantastic tool of communications with parents. Keep up the good work.

Dear Galeet,
I will try to work with the parents to reinforce the list and allow the students to retest if possible. Time management is the issue, but hopefully, this system will help with this issue. Steven
